JA Finance Park Results

Research conducted by the independent RMC Research Corporation and the JA USA Education Group shows that the combination of JA Finance Park’s financial literacy curriculum and experiential learning program increases the financial capability of middle school students who participate.

Some of the findings of the evaluation include:

Teachers see JA Finance Park as a “wake-up call” for students to the financial realities of adulthood, and students relished the opportunity to learn more about what their lives will be like once they are on their own.

Teachers liked the fact that participation prompted their students to think about their careers and purchase choices and helps them to realize the importance of a college education in allowing them to achieve the income needed to support themselves and their families.
